People who are history buffs enjoy taking pictures at graveyards. We plan on moving there in the not too distant future and we are trying to learn the history of the island. I have taken pictures of the older grave Memorials on gabriola, and bought the book “The People Of Gabriola” that was selling at the market so as to learn about the people in those graves.

Hi, Cheryl! First of all, today's post about the cemetery was written by Anon E. Mouse, who is one of the guest bloggers you'll be seeing around here from time to time. Anon E. Mouse supplied both the text and the photos in this blog entry. That said, there are many reasons to take pictures of graves in a cemetery. Some people do that to record information that may be lost later, like when time and weather make a name carved in stone difficult to read. Other people just like cemeteries.

I understand Gabriolan taking pictures to show on the blog, but a little while ago I was walking past the graveyard on my way down to the beach for a walk and I noticed a person taking pictures of the graves and was still there taking pictures an hour later on my way back to my car. Am I missing something? Does anyone know why someone would want to take pictures of all the grave stones? Is this an artsy thing. I ‘ve walked through and looked at the stones myself on occasion but can’t see a reason for photographing all of them.
